Remembering Tobias Wong (1974-2010)

It’s only Tuesday and already it’s been a particularly sad week for the art world. Yesterday, we lost the brilliant, tremendously influential Louise Bourgeois. Now, we’ve learned that New York-based artist and designer Tobias Wong also passed away over the weekend. He was only 35. During his short career, Wong both worked within and critiqued the commercial world. He created clever and often ingenious objects and orchestrated unforgettable happenings. After the jump, we celebrate Wong the best way we know how: by collecting some of his most provocative work.
